French revolution

The French revolution was inspired by America and the enlightenment thinkers. People started getting tried of having kings and queens. They wanted liberty, they wanted to have the right to decide who there leader would be. There eyes were open to see how badly the kings and queens were screwing them over.
The kings were not doing there job at all. Louis XV and Louis XVI fail to revise the tax. The nobles noticed how much they work, work on other crops leaving thier's to die, how they had to work so hard to become nothing life.
Many things changed after the French Revolution, for the good and bad. Certain people weren't paying there taxes such as: Universities, churches in Paris, etc. The pleasents were stuck with all the taxes, due to the fact they are nothing.
So when everything was over, the colors of the american flag inspired them to add those olors o there flag.
